I'm getting load errors on BiFilter 1.61 when setting up my new laptop (old laptop had an electronic failure of some sort). Not to worry, I keep good backups of everything. However, I cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this problem.

OS Platform is Windows 10 64-bit, with the usual 32-bit Buzz install.

Running the latest pvst builds 1.1.10b build 30.

I've gotten all my other errors cleared up (had some issues with Synthmaster, but it turned out that I had just loaded up the 64-bit dll instead of the 32-bit one) but this is the final nagging issue with getting migrated to Windows 10

Error Message
Title bar just says "Load Error" and the body contains the path to the DLL.

I have 2 sources I could find for this VST (shared for your convenience):

Just the dll file and manual:

Thanks for the help in advance! And thanks Polac for the best VST support of any DAW.

Prevent focus stealing is meant to be used only with selected vsts, if for example the plugin always steals the focus on clicking a knob or fader without a good reason. If a plugin really requires pc keyboard input you have to disable the prevent focus stealing feature of course.

i think it would be cool if the "prevent focus stealing" option was made more accessible so you could enable/disable it quickly. Like maybe make it an entry in the EDIT Menu. It's a godsend for keyjazzing on all those VST that insist on having built in patch browsers that requires mouse clicks (while of course stealing focus.. such a dumb design but seems pretty prevalent...). It's at least as important as all the other options in the EDIT menu (like Oversampling, Run In Separate Process, Freeze etc), so it wouldn't be missplaced there imho.

Just reinstalled my machine, and had a few of the usual hiccups you always have through such a process, and I noticed one thing: Polac VST only added a VST folder sitting inside the Buzz folder. It did not discover the real VST folder where all the plugins are installed. I don't know if maybe I missed some setup-procedure of pvst here, that would have caused it to find the real VST folder of the OS?

Did I goof up something or is it necessary to manually tell pvst where the VST folder is?

Yes I also thought about this, I'll add this to the next loader version.
